Smoother arrivals in Chicago for Lake Shore passengers?

That’s what could happen, now that the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded funding for something called the “Englewood Flyover.” Now, Metra commuter trains and Amtrak trains from out of town often had to wait for one another on the south side of Chicago, causing delays.

But the flyover apparently will separate the traffic, and Lake Shore Limited passengers won’t have to wait just short of their destination after an overnight ride from Albany. No word on how quickly the project will be completed.
